Crafted from cast iron, this wheel cylinder offers durability and resistance to wear under demanding braking conditions. The bore diameter of 0.813 inches ensures compatibility with the brake system specifications of the Ford Escort, LN7, and Mercury Lynx models. The included bleeder screw facilitates straightforward brake fluid bleeding, helping maintain optimal brake performance. The brake line inlet thread diameter of 10 mm and M10 x 1.0 thread size with a 1.0 pitch provide secure and leak-free connections to the brake lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Escort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord LN7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Lynx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel cylinder is designed specifically for these models, ensuring proper fitment and brake system integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Wheel Cylinder\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fluid leaks from worn or damaged wheel cylinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency due to cylinder bore wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake drag caused by sticking or seized wheel cylinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven brake shoe wear resulting from inconsistent cylinder operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty bleeding brakes due to missing or faulty bleeder screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Dorman W104390 wheel cylinder, ensure the brake system is fully depressurized and the vehicle is securely lifted.
